Landon Duckworth decommits
- Thread starter 18IsTheMan
- Start date
He was to be the centerpiece of the 2026 class.
Not only have we not landed a notable recruit recently, we now lose one of our biggest ones.
This is why I put zero stock in such long-term commits.

Doesn't look like we're getting any of those either
I also don't get excited about a kid who commits in August 2023 for 2026, and remember you basically predicting this when he committed.
But as such I don't get excited when they decocmmit, it was expected.
Yeah, can't say it's shocking, but when we are desperately looking for some good news on the recruiting trail, this isn't what you want.
In this day and age, I don't even see the value in taking commitments that early. They have such a low likelihood of sticking.
I know right. Why can't we be like Texas; everyone would be so happy then.Oh, we suck so bad!!!!
I'm pretty much losing excitement for all of recruiting in general...... We are 3*-U here of late, and that's *nothing* to be excited about. I don't get hopes up for anyone who actually inks a LOI to return the following year. It's just a complete cluster right now - USC FB and all of CFB.
And even if we do reel in a 5 star or 3, the chances of them sticking out 3 or 4 years is next to none. Recruiting loses a lot of luster when the players can leave whenever they want.
In response to Duckworth's de-commitment, we sent an offer out to Noah Grubbs, 4* out of Florida currently committed to ND. He has offers from all the big schools, so I seriously doubt he's interested in being our Plan B.
Who would want to come here with all this negativity. Which one of you ever thought the Denver Nuggets would be champion of the NBA or about 25 years ago thought that the Gamecocks women would be the envy of women basketball, l sure didn't but it happened. That why l can continue to hope that the Gamecocks will one day be champion of college football as well. We will get players who are good enough to get us there, maybe not this decade but it will happen eventually. So l am saying we got a chance that's all we need, Go Gamecocks!!!!!
I'm going to have to disagree with you on that point Is it possible, remotely, but sure it's possible. However, there is nothing to indicate there is some semblance of a foundation, or the slightest indication that a NC is remotely possible.Who would want to come here with all this negativity.

So we've moved from "wait til next year" to "wait til the next decade"? haha
We're not out of it, but we're not ''it'' is the usual story.
We would have an all-time HOF college roster if we had landed 2% of the 5* guys who had us in their final group.
And, we would be greatest NCAA dynasty in FB, MBB and BB if it weren't for the refs/umps always missing or making bad calls against us. ( This is sarcasm )
While this may not apply to all decommitments, they usually:
- Express appreciation and love for the coaches and fans.
- Give thanks to God.
- State your need to do what is best for you and your family.
- Ask jilted fans to respect your decision.
